Groundwater and Surface Water (Why They Matter)

In this video, students will learn the differences between groundwater and surface water, and why they are important.

First I'll tell you what ground water is and where it comes from. I also discuss the impact of soil structure on this water.

Then, I define permeability and porosity. And I talk about the reasons ground water helps us and how we use it.

Next, I discuss surface water, what it is and where it comes from. I also talk about how we use it and why it's important. I then talk about the threats to the quality of this water.

Finally, I link it all together with the water cycle.
